(Colours Of The Night) Satellite is the American’s first song-based release in two years, during which the singer-songwriter-composer-multi-instrumentalist and serial collaborator was struck down by a debilitating illness that forced him to re-evaluate his life. It meant a scaled-back workload and moving from his Berlin home back to his home state of Oregon. Thankfully, after a period of rehabilitation, he's now back on track.
'One of the record’s main themes is how bad stuff can have a rejuvenating effect,” says Broderick. The EP opens with ‘Colours Of The Night (Satellite Version)’, a sparkling, Afro-pop-tinged beauty that embodies the concept. “Night time is so monochromatic, but actually there are all these different shades of grey. I’ve often explored melancholic moods before, but this time I wanted a balance of darkness and light. I wouldn’t feel so happy now without the struggle.”
A rejuvenated Broderick began recording again. Back in Berlin, an alternate, dub-enhanced and expanded version of ‘Colours of The Night’ was created by best friend and collaborator Greg Haines. He also helped record the EP’s closing track ‘More And More (Mouth Trumpet Version)’, with its beautiful and uncanny brass coda sung by what Broderick calls his, “fake trumpet voice.”
‘Take Me Back’ - another exquisitely tender ballad – alongside ‘Love Defines Me’ and ‘Colours Of The Night (Satellite Version)’ - was recorded in Switzerland, as was Broderick’s forthcoming album (which Bella Union will release in spring 2015). Friendships developed on tour led to an offer to record in Lucerne with producer-engineer Timo Keller and Broderick’s first studio experience with a ‘pick-up’ band. This sense of a new phase in his life will continue when the same musicians will be his backing band on his European tour this autumn, which will help banish the memory of 2012’s lost opportunities.
Despite its European origins, Broderick says (Colours Of The Night’) Satellite was inspired by, “getting back in touch with my American-ness,” after seven years living abroad. He name-checks Neil Young, Chet Baker and Arthur Russell as particular influences, which is America as it should be, a mix of folk, jazz, rock and rhythm that perfectly reflects Broderick’s new music, which sounds like the cleanest bill of health that anyone could possibly hope for.

Necro Facility is for sure one of the leading acts in the industrial scene today. Over the years they have build a huge amount of followers and is one of the most respected acts in the scene.

A milestone with clubsmashers like "Intense", "Downstairs", "Methane View" and "Ifrit". A scene classic and expensive CD to come across nowdays in the second hand market. With Progress Productions celebrating 10 years this year we have decided to release a limited edition vinyl re-release of this masterpiece. Worldwide limited to only strictly 500 copies. Finally available again!
Carice van Houten, who plays priestess Melisandre on HBO’s Game of Thrones, will portray infamous German director Leni Riefenstahl in Race, the Jesse Owens biopic.
The drama, being directed by Stephen Hopkins, is currently shooting in Berlin with Stephan James playing Owens. Among the cast are Jeremy Irons and Jason Sudeikis.
Riefenstahl directed Triumph of the Will, the infamous Nazi documentary that is considered one of the best pieces of propaganda ever put to screen.
The director was invited by Hitler to film the 1936 Olympics and she delivered with Olympia, which was innovative for its use of tracking and slow-motion shots.
Van Houten appeared in Paul Verhoeven’s 2006 World War II drama Black Book as well as opposite Tom Cruise in 2008’s Valkyrie.
More recently she appeared with Benedict Cumberbatch in The Fifth Estate and recently wrapped Incarnate, the Jason Blum-produced horror movie that stars Aaron Eckhart.

New York is in de greep van een reeks brute moorden. Wanneer de vrouw van een invloedrijke crimineel wordt ontvoerd en de seriemoordenaars losgeld eisen, kan de drugsdealer onmogelijk naar de politie. Hij roept de hulp in van privédetective Matt Scudder (LIAM NEESON). Als voormalig NYPD agent is hij de aangewezen persoon om deze zaak tot op de bodem uit te zoeken. Hij bijt zicht vast in het onderzoek en maakt koortsachtig jacht op de psychopaten die de stad terroriseren. Wanneer de enige getuige voor zijn ogen zelfmoord pleegt, lijkt het spoor dood te lopen. Totdat Matt onderdeel wordt van het gestoorde spel dat door de moordlustige kidnappers gespeeld wordt.
